I watched the first few (think it was only 4?) episodes and then they took a break for a couple months - they should of killed it then. I was a big fan of the original when I was a kid, but this mess was just killing that childhood memory. :thumbsdown:

Yeah, but the last episode was great. I think they are really rethinking it after seeing how good it could be.

Well I thought I heard that the one idiot kid got killed off, that would be a turn in the right direction.

Other people got killed to. In interesting ways.
Plus, a whole nother storyline was introduced that really moved the show in a different direction.

If some of the cast started to get killed off, I might have to watch a few more episodes if only for spite.

I'm way too young for Bonanza too, but luckily my folks got me up to speed on every.western.ever.made.

you can put this one in the bitter much category:


The facts are these: Two and a Half Men‘s main man, Chuck Lorre, is vested in keeping the show going by any means possible — and most definitely sans Charlie Sheen.

“Chuck Lorre is fighting to keep the show alive without the star it was originally created for,” a source told The Daily Beast last week. The Hollywood Reporter is now echoing that sentiment, saying that Lorre has presented close associates and Men costar Jon Cryer with “a new creative direction” that will subtract Charlie Harper from the mix but keep Alan, Jake et al caught up in comedic capers for at least another season to come.

As told to THR by an insider, Lorre assured Cryer that the reboot “would involve a significant role for him, and the introduction of a new, yet-to-be-cast character.”

Lest anyone think Lorre might steer TV’s most watched sitcom in a very new direction — one perhaps ill-fitting the show’s current title — a studio source tells TVLine that by hook or by crook, Two and a Half Men will keep that name should it move forward. After all, unless the Valerie of Valerie’s Family just up and leaves, name-changes are a risky proposition, even more so for a long-running series such as Men.

So what do you think Chuck Lorre has up his sleeve? The official word on Men likely will be handed down by the time CBS holds its annual upfront presentation on May 19, so the time to speculate is now. Will Charlie go on the lam for heaven knows what, freeing up his room to be occupied by, say, a cad cousin? Will Jake be “promoted” to full “Man” status, allowing for a new young’un — maybe Alan has a not-legit kid out there? — to enter the nest?

Bah... they want to keep producing Who and a Half Man without Charlie Sheen?!? Please... that would be like doing a season of 24 without Keefer Sutherland, or a season of Mythbusters without Adam Savage.

24 w/o keifer sutherland MIGHT be watchable...if they finally got a decent actor...and decent scripts...

I keep reading that "The Event" may not make it back. I'm kind of torn...on one hand, it's not a very good show, but on the other hand...it's better than a lot of the crap on TV. I'm getting pretty tired of the "Lost" style of shows though...where they never actually resolve anything...and just keep dragging shit on and on and on...

I believe this current season was also initially a 13 ep run, then nbc realized how much of their other stuff sucked and extended it to full status.

WTF?

This show is great. Only had 4 or 5 episodes. How can they cancel it already?

it was a comedy on fox, no other network has such a lopsided recorded of canceling a type of genre show.

The only one of those I watched was "Chicago Code," and as mentioned in the other thread, it never did get "good," but rather, stayed mediocre. I tried to watch "Human Target" on its opening night...hated it, never watched again. "Lie to Me" was ok for the first season or so, but Tim Roth was just too "over the top" for me. IMO, that show jumped the shark a long time ago.

some more fringe news:

Looks like someone’s going to take advantage of that fancy new “bridge” between universes next season on Fringe — and that someone is Seth Gabel!

Sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that the actor — who has recurred the last two seasons as Bolivia’s “Over There” colleague, Lincoln Lee — will return in Season 4 as a full-fledged series regular.


In a March episode, viewers finally met Linc’s “Over Here” doppelganger — a mild-mannered FBI desk jockey. But I think it’s safe to say it’s the immensely popular alt-Linc who will be the version we see more of come fall.

This marks Gabel’s first full-time series gig since he starred as silver-spooned brat Jeremy Darling on ABC’s Dirty Sexy Money.


I’m going to go out on a limb and say Fringe fans will greet this news with open and loving arms. Feel free to back me up on that in the comments.

NBC decides to fall on the sword and cancel L&O:LA. For what was a franchise property, this now ammounts to 3 of 4 series being cancelled within a year.

They've also set the event loose.

No official word still on chuck, but the sources are now also indicating that while approved, this would be the last run for chuck. If so let's atleast hope its a full run rather than just 13.

Not going into pilot programs but willl mention that the wonder woman project is DOA.
